Figure 68 in Five new peacock spiders from Western Australia (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini: Maratus Karsch 1878)

Figure 68. Four series (1.1-1.10, 2.1-2.6, 3.1-3.10, 4.1-4.10) of consecutive frames from 25 FPS video clips of a male Maratus linnaei. 1, Alternating slight wave of legs III. 2, Bilateral scissors movement. 3, Waving legs III with pedipalp flicker. 4, Bobbing of the elevated opisthosoma with slight waving of legs III and pedipalp flicker. Arrows indicate movement of legs, pedipalps, or the opisthosoma, or side-stepping (4.9 only) relative to the preceding frame. All of these movements appear to represent advertisement to get the attention of a nearby female. When the male is close to an attentive female legs III are held in a caliper-like position (Figures 69-70).
